Non-Load-Balanced Application Does Not Work Properly on WLBS

APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q199008

SYMPTOMS

A TCP/IP application running on one of the cluster hosts does not appear to work correctly when running Windows NT Load Balancing Service (WLBS). This application is not being load balanced.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because one or more of the application's ports are inadvertently being load balanced. If you create a port rule with a very large port range, you may inadvertently load balance ports for other applications

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, be sure that the port rules handle ports only for the intended applications.
